Chevrolet: Air Bag Light reset, odbii scanner, geo metro


Question
I just replaced the combination switch in a 1996 Geo Metro LSI. After re-
installing the steering wheel and following the air bag reinstall directions I
cannot get the light to clear. If I disconnect the bag while the car is running, it
goes off, but shut the car off and reconnect bag it comes on again. I
disconnected the battery for 15min. still no reset. Does this on board computer
need to be flashed by a handheld to reset?

Answer
Scott,
     It will have to have the code cleared with a handheld ODBII scanner in order for the light to stay out. Most major chain parts stores will do it for free or a small charge if you ask them to pull the codes. When the codes come up, have them erase them and you should be done with it. Good Luck!
